Hi guys I am going to stick a fallow head on the wall that was shot late last season and it's antlers were quite light and weatherbeaten. While I don't want to change the colour, I would like to add some lustre to the dull antlers. Can you recommend anything?

I've used beeswax and a stiff brush, or you can use shoeshine in a colour that mathes the natural colour or close to it.
